Many personal best times and state cuts posted. Good job coaches and swimmers. Keep up the good
work as the CARDS head into the Senior and Age Group State
Meets.



Swimmers will be required to wear a team suit (black suit with CARD logo) at all non-championship meets. Also, if the swimmer wears a swim cap, they will be required to wear an official CARD swim cap (latex and silicone will be available) at all meets. The only exception to this rule will be championship meets, such as divisional, state, zones, sectionals, etc. At these championship meets, the swimmer (if wearing a swim cap) must wear a designated team cap and a black suit is preferred!

If a swimmer or parent elects to not purchase the team suit picked by the CARD apparel committee, then they will be required to purchase a black suit and have it logo-ed on their own and at their own expense.

All of the uniform requirements will take effect during the 2008-09 fall/winter season and are not required during this summer (long course) season. This will allow for a smooth transition.
